Defenseman Alex Biega weaved through traffic and scored the go-ahead goal with 4 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the third period Sunday to lift the Rochester Americans to a 4-2 win over the Adirondack Phantoms at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

Paul Szczechura added an empty-netter for insurance with 45 seconds left and goaltender David Leggio stopped 46 of 48 shots as the Amerks improved to 34-26-9-4 (81 points) with three regular season games remaining. Rochester sits in 10th place after Milwaukee defeated Houston 2-1 in the shootout Sunday.
